It has been about one thousand and two hundred years that, the book Sunan Abī Dāwūd was compiled.
And for many years, there has been a part named” Kitāb al-Mahdī’” in the fourth chapter of this book.
So all the people who have quoted contents from that part, would refer to the same [Kitāb al-Mahdī]…
But unfortunately when the book Sunan Abī Dāwūd was reprinted in 1408 (AH) in Egypt
و لَمِنَ ٱنتَصَرَ بَعدَ ظُلمِه فَأولئکَ ما عَلیهم مِن سَبیل.[شوری/۴۱]
But indeed if any do help and defend themselves after a wrong (done) to them, against such there is no cause of blame.
(Holy Qur`an, Surah ASH-SHURA, verse 41)
Perhaps a lot of Shias and Sunnis do not know, how many various issues in Sunni sources have been about Imam Mahdi (mgehr) and his emergence. [Here are] some examples:
12 caliphs after the Prophet (pbuh&h); they are as many as the chiefs of Israelites.[2]
2- Rightfulness of a man from Quraysh; named “Mahdi (mgehr)”
The book “Shukmuni”
The son of Sayyid1 of two world2’s creatures “honorable Kyshn”, will end the kingdom and the fortune in the world.
He will be the one who rule over east and west mountains,
He comes on the clouds, along with angles.
الْيَوْمَ يَئِسَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ دِينِكُمْ فَلا تَخْشَوْهُمْ…[مائده/۳]
This day have those who reject faith given up all hope of your religion: yet fear them not … (The holy Qur’an, Surah AL-MAEDA, Verse 3)
Jābir says, “Imam al-Baqir (pbuh) stated about this verse:
Once a person asked Imam Sadiq (pbuh), “Can we say to Imam Qa`em1 (hgr)’ Asalam o Alaik ya Amir al-Mu`minin [Islamic way of saying Hello]?’ ”
The Imam (pbuh) replied:
“No, this is a name that God allocated to [just] Imam Ali (pbuh), and [since then] no one calls himself so, except an unbeliever.”
They knew you will come but they were lost your address!
Keysaniye believed in Imam being of “Muhammad Ibn Hanafiyah”.
After his dead some denied it and said: “He is alive but absent, he is hidden in Rizwa mount until the day when he will be commanded and emerge.”
Actually they respect him the Imam who was waiting for him!
Ibn Khalkān, no date, v.4, p.176
Thahabi, 1407.L, v.12, p.113
Ibn Hajar Heytami, 1417.L, p255 &314
Kheyr Al-Din Zarkali, 1992.AD, v.6, p.80
Ibn Alwardi, I. J. “Noor Al-Absār”, p.186
The first person who due to ignorance of Imam Mahdi (hgr)’s birth, denied the birth of Imam Mahdi (hgr), was Ja’afar (the Imam’s uncle)!
Ja’afar used to strongly inhibit the news of the Imam’s birth!!
Ibn-e-Hazm in the book “Al-Fasl fil-Milal…” impeached [Imam Mahdi’s (hgr)]’s birth. He wrote that Imam Mahdi’s (hgr)’s birth didn’t occur till Imam Askari (pbuh)’s martyrdom!
He said to them,
“Allah will test you at the stream: if any drinks of its water, He goes not with my army: Only those who taste not of it go with me: A mere sip out of the hand is excused.” but they all drank of it, except a few… [The Holy Quran, Sure Al-Baqarah, Verse 249]
Imam Sadiq (pbuh) stated, “God tested Prophet Moses`s companions (pbuh) by a stream, Qaem1`s companions (hgr) will have the same test, too.” As God stated (in the Holy Quran, sure Al-Baqarah, verse 249), “Allah tests you with a stream!”
